tetsu picks

L'Arc~en~Ciel tetsu 2001.12	TETSU69 2001.12
L'Arc~en~Ciel tetsu 2002.1	TETSU69 2002.1

these special edition tetsu guitar picks are released few months ago but i didnt' know about it (did they even advertise?) anyway, don't u think they're so cute ^^? they're all by ESP and a limited amount of 5000 each design!!! I wonder if they're still available now >_< ~

recently i read an article about GARBAGE Live in Zepp Tokyo during Feb 2002. And funny thing i found is ^^ the article included a little note about artists that went to the LIVE, and in the list is KAORI & TETSU! <article>This is very recent..2 months ago only..so they're still dating :D and as far as I know they're still wearing that Tiffany & Co. bracelet ^_^ One more thing is.... the countdown LIVE that ELT had, Kaori was playing guitar for the song "Sweetaholic girl". The guitar she uses is a Gretsch Duo Jet 6128.

Tetchan uses a very similar one in his solo work, although not exactly the same model ( and i dunno which model..coz for some reasons i can't find in the gretch catalogues..maybe he had it custom modified.) The guitar is also very similar to hyde's Gretsch 62'Duo Jet 6128T-62. Wonder if tetchan recommended the guitar to Kaori ^^? Anyways that's all..just a little update on the 2. and a picture of tetchan..if u miss him..hehe.

Final Fantasy "SPIRIT DREAMS INSIDE"

Wowowow, another big WOW for us. LARC IS BACK!!!!! YAY!! hahahah. This new single is called SPIRIT DREAMS INSIDE(music / words by hyde), and this song is going to be the ending theme song for the animated Final Fantasy movie "The spirits within", there will be 2 versions of the song, english/jap. (btw, the jap version will be called "spirit dreams inside -another dream-". The movie opens everywhere July 11th in North America, and Fall in asia perhaps? PREVIEW OF THE SONG CLICK HERE!!!!!LYRICS HERE~!!!!As ending theme, the song will also be the last song in the OST of the movie, "Final Fantasy Original Motion Picture Soundtrack". The song sounds very soothing, quite fit for ending theme, sounds like full of hope and future ^^;; must be happy ending right? doesn't sound depressing to me at all! its some kind of NEO UNIVERSE feeling :P Oh, and hyde got new hairstyle again, this time somewhat similar to the Kohaku '00 hair, a little bit more blonde, and..better hair quality ^^; my first impression is ANGELINA JOLIE! hahaha..don't u think so?(laughs) I've been dying a lot of bring cells in thinking of what new haircut to have, maybe this is a good idea? ^^;

Bandscore of Clicked Singles Best 13 will be released on April 30th. Its a good book i guess, because its got all the popular songs.. (however, well, those songs are in Singles collection bandscore anyway...don't understand...and its only got 13 songs in this book, while singles collection got all the singles...well well, its your choice! ( and it costs 3000 yen )

CLUB CIRCUIT 2000 REALIVE - NO CUT
get out from the shell - asian version - / THE NEPENTHES / Promised land /
NEO UNIVERSE / bravery / ROUTE 666 / LOVE FLIES / fate / a silent letter / trick /
STAY AWAY /HONEY / ibara no namida / Shout at the Devil

So what is this ..NO CUT thing? it is basically a video of the REALIVE ( the live house ones, with only...20,000 fans instead of 120,000 in GCT) and it includes precious images of last live at Osaka Hall, including all the MC, the diving into fans scenes..etc. (well since its UNCUT..so..)
If u get the DVD, they will have a "sub-angle" thing for Shout at the Devil, in which it combines many different scenes from different locations. (....yappari, gotta get a dvd player..-"-)

Ken's Autograph

Hisashiburiiiii~~ sorry having final exams recently... not much time for updates yet...hehe study is more important right? >_<
Anyway I just thought this is really cool so i'd share with you guys. Above is the AUTHENTIC AUTOGRAPH from KENCHAN for buying his artist model guitar (yah its like a certificate )!!! A friend gave this to me as a gift~~~~ You get these things for buying artist models i think....what a nice bonus ^_^too bad haido's got no artist model!!!! or else i'd buy it for sure !!!! anyway this guitar's bought quite a long time ago, so this signature must be from long ago too ( nothing recent )

BLUES HARP

I've always wanted to buy one but never found it, and recently I accidentally spotted it and bought it rite away, only 30 bucks! Although I don't know how to play a harmonica..but I'll try to learn, at least I'd wanna play that part haido played in flower (shouldn't be THAT hard rite?? hmm ) anyways, yeah this is exactly the same as the one hyde used in flower, its Blues Harp (Key: D)

GARGOYLES



HIHI~~ i took this lovegety card with Paul san and the gargoyles sunglasses belongs to him!!!! I'm so happy that i can wear them ^^ hohoohoho~~~ now makes me wanna buy one pair too..and we never figured out what brand the other pair of sunglasses that hyde wears all the time is.. ^ ^?

-+HYDIEST+-

muhaaa...USAGI hyde so so is back...(sweat) I dyed my hair blonde for the Nth time again! ~>0<~ hahaha I dunno why i just felt like it ( coz of hyde maybe? )
well the funny thing is my hair length is just almost same as his, and even the cut! and now even the color..but the first bleach + dye turned out too light, so i had to dye it again this morning..hair is all dead now -__-""" and i'm supposed to be studying!! and i ended up playing with my hair....wuuu no sleep tonight...

Hana zakari no Kimitachi e~

I "accidentally" started reading this comic called HANA ZAKARI NO KIMITACHI E by HISAYA NAKAJO at a comic cafe when i was in HK, and I really liked it, so i bought the whole series! ( its still on going tho.. ) Well I read a lot of manga..and of course there's a reason that I'm introducing it here..coz the author Nakajo san is a Laruku & Malice Mizer fan!! hahaha ~~~
Well unlike Kaori Yuki..she doesn't base any character on hyde...(altho there's one character inside that's like the Gackt with long hair..but funny version..)

(above is pic of the dude i say portraited from gackt ^^;)
In her free talks, she talked about MM (in one of the scenes where they had a ranking of guys in the school..i saw one guy is called CAMUI GAKUTO hahahahah ), and she also talked about going to Light my fire 98 in Osaka (she also went to GCT)....and she even submitted her fanart of Laruku to a magazine before (Laughs), she even drew a little picture of hyde in blonde hair..( she thinks hyde looks like Ka X ru..i assume its KATORU (Gundam W) ???

..and inside the manga, there's a Cafe called L'Arc~en~Ciel where the characters go to, and she explained that there REALLY is such a cafe in OSAKA ^^ but she said the pronounciation is different.( like they don't read it as LARUKU AN SHIERU for some reasons..)
Oh~ she also joined the fanclub..and she said..coz she joined too late, her membership number is 105000!!!! hahaha anyways this manga is really funny and the guys are cute! My fave character is called Sano Izumi, and one guy i kinda like is called Umeda (he's the hogenshitsu sensei..)^^; Here's a site you can visit for more info!

SUMMER SPECIAL VOL 001

K for 10 hrs!!!
this saturday i went sing K with few laruku fans, Aurora san, Kaeru san, and Yue san. ^^
We notice that Yue san have very good coordination and can continue few things at a time ( for example sing with right hand + stir soup with right hand..or...mic between legs and use hands to cut up steak and continue singing..haha)

Here is a polaroid of MISO SOUP STIRRING + SINGING
then flower came on~ and hyde sama is just SO CUTE SO PRETTY and i just LOSE CONTROL and started goingi crazy and dance around and totally indulge myself in the MTV...(while others are -_-")

Anyway, that night, i went to sing K with other friends again..and for another 4 hours...sang till 4 AM ( that morning start singing K at 12 ..haha then shop a while and dinner and sing K again..)
my voice is gone.........=_="

------------------------------
i was originally planning to go to see "Pearl Harbour" special-priced show ne... but i missed it (the time) wor.. then i went to go shopping for bday presents la... n on my way to Tower Records.. i saw some kind of a red head (DIE-kun) and a certain guy whom i SUSPECT is kaoru-kun !!! i saw them going into a restaurant.. a bar to be exact... opposite TR wor... then i went into TR for a QUICK scan of stuffs n decided to follow them in!! hoohohoh...

then ne... i went into the restaurant.. ordered a coke (randomn pick) and some fries (untouched!!!) n sat there... like kept looking at my watch n mobile every other minute... i was pretty sure that itz DIE ne... n according to my lover-instinct (^^;) that should be Kaoru-kun!!! after 25 minutes later.. i finally decided to go for a signature.. n found that i have NO paper or pen with me... the bar has NO paper at all..!! only kitchen napkins... damn,.... so i went back to TR n grab some postcards...! asked one of those sexy ladies for a pen n decided to walk to their table... they were with 1 middle-aged man n 2 japanese girls... in their 2x's la... both of the girls speak english ne.. hoho.. i went to them and asked if they're Die and Kaoru from Dir en grey la... they (the girls) were pretty shocked and i repeated my question to them.. the answer is "yes" (of course... what a stupid question) and I asked them for a signature... i handed Kaoru-kun my postcard and pen and the girls began chatting a bit of me... they asked where i am from and asked what am i doing here ... i told them i am from HK (hahaha... fake answer...) and that i am a student here.. hoohhoho... they (the girls) kept on sayign "Sugoii.. sugoiii,....xxxxxx sugoii!!" hahaha... kaoru-kun signed it first and then gave it to Die wor.. n b4 he signed it.. i saw him trying out the pen on a piece of tissue ne.. KAWAII!! ^O^ then i asked them if they're going to have live in Summer wor.. they said yes in august wor.. hohoohoh...!!! fit my schedule...!!!!

then i got my signature.. and very nice smile from DIE.. hohohooo.... kaoru-kun is quite cold ne... maybe shy gua... (making excuse for him already... -_-) they left a few minutes later... i smiled to them n waved goodbyes... hoohohoh... n then DIE-kun came back to ask for washroom... i saw that the waitress didn't understand his question at first... i was thinking .. "daijoubu.. die-san.. ur fan is here to help u out!!!" ^^;;; but... he got it to his way... later he came out n smiled to me AGAIN ... his sunshine (trademark) SMILE!!!! *faints* then he went to join the others on a taxi.... hohoho... the effect of meeting them resulted in
1. EXTRA tip to the waitress in the restaurant
2. continuous SUNSHINE smile to EVERYONE
3. i wanna cry
4. i can't concentrate for my test tomolo at all....!!!!!
